Brrrrr!

Windy 1It seems the cold weather has blown in now and is here to stay for awhile.....brrrrr, it is cold!  We didn't get a lot from Hurricane Sandy, just and lot of wind a rain over the weekend since we only got the outskirts of the storm.  But I've definitely been staying warm with yummy hot cocoa....and sometimes some decaf. coffee, lol.  I've been doing pretty well with my schoolwork and music has kept me very as well.  My music teacher has assigned me four different pieces of music to practice, sigh.  I am also learning to use the foot pedals on the piano too, so that is taking some extra work on my part as it's a little harder to coordinate all that.  I throughly enjoyed the symphony music concert I got to attend with my music teacher.  She and I went to Goldan Corral for supper first....loved it!  Then we went to the concert, so much fun!  I also enjoyed seeing my big brother again, he was home from college on Fall break.  I have been busy shopping for a birthday present for him, his birthday is Nov. 20.  I have finally figured out what I am going to get for him, I think he is going to love it!  Other stuff.....my fat cat Oscar got into my lunch today .  I had made a nice salad for myself, it had Ranch salad dressing on it.  I guess Oscar must like Ranch salad dressing, I had stepped away for a minute only to find him licking the salad dressing Smiley.  Sigh!  Well, sorry this is so short, lol, not much else going on!

A symphony and other excitement!

SmileyHey everyone! I'm still here, just very busy with life around here....schoolwork, music lessons/practice, church, and helping out at home.  Sounds repetitive, but this weekend I will be getting a break from the usual routine around here.  Tomorrow, I will be going with my dad to go pick up my brother from college....he is on Fall break.  I am so excited as I might to get to practice some of my driving, plus I will get to see the college campus as well.....yay Smiley!  And yes, lol, I will be glad to see my big brother too!

Saturday night will be some more excitement for me, something I've never gotten to do before......attend a symphony concert!Free Music SmileysMy piano teacher had an extra ticket for a symphony concert and asked me if I could go.  Mom and dad said it was ok, so I will be getting to go, yay Free Happy Smileys!  She will first take me to dinner with her, then we will go to the concert.  We will be getting to hear Brahms’ First Symphony, opening with three popular melodies taken from larger works, including the famous opening strains of Mozart’s Overture to The Marriage of Figaro and the mystical Overture to Carl Maria von Weber’s Romantic opera Der Freischütz. Also included in the program is the Love Scene from Berlioz’s large-scale “dramatic” symphony, Romeo and Juliet.  I'm soooooo excited, I can hardly wait Smiley!  This is going to be so much fun!

Other excitement around here.......my mom is going to have a baby!Free Baby Smileys  Yes, you read that right, I am going to be a big sister again, wonderful isn't it?!  I am secretly hoping this baby will be a boy, lol, you can't blame since I already have two sisters.  But we'll see.  Right now, my sisters and I have pretty much had to take over things and help out my mom more than usual.  She has been sick some and very tired as well, but she says she will be getting to feeling better pretty soon and have her energy back.  Until then we help out with things like cooking supper.  Last week, on my night, I was making homemade pizza when I got carried away with the flour, lol, it kind of poofed everywhere Free Indifferent Smileys all over me and the counter.  So, it's been an adventure around here, lol!Smiley
